The Traitor's Heir

Note: I received a
complimentary copy for an honest review of this book from www.bookfun.org The opinions shared in this review are solely
my responsibility.

The Traitor’s Heir
was a good book. It is about a man named
Eamon Goodman whose highest ambition is to serve the Master of the River Realm.
However, soon after he has sworn his
allegiance to the Master, he discovers that not everything is as it seems. A voice enters his mind and goads him to do
evil for the Master’s glory. Joining the
Gauntlet or army of the River Realm means serving the Master and fulfilling his
duty whatever the cost against the Realm’s enemies, but when he is captured by
these enemies, he is brought to the true King of the Realm. This King opens Eamon’s eyes to a new way of
serving something bigger than him. Eamon
agrees and swears a new oath to the King. He is then sent to the Kingdom’s capital to
spy for the King, but once inside he is exposed to temptations of power and
lust for high born women sworn to the Master. In his struggles, Eamon wonders which master
he is going to betray for “a man cannot serve two masters.”

There were things that I liked about the book and things
that I didn’t like. What I liked about
the book was that it has some Christian elements to the story and it shows what
Christians go through in this world for even though they are Christians they
are still human. There will always be
temptation, so whether we give in or stand our ground is our choice. Eamon represents one such Christian who is
struggling to serve the true King and yet the power of temptation is very
strong. Without the help of the power of
the King’s Grace, Eamon will fall. What I also liked about the book is that it
shows a man trying to be an example of light in a world of darkness. I also enjoyed some of the fantasy
elements in the book that reminded me of The
Lord of The Rings.

What I didn’t like about the book is that it has some
language and sexual content. Fortunately,
the language didn’t involve the F-word. The
sexual content wasn’t totally explicit or graphic, which was good. I do get the reasoning behind this as it shows
how people who don’t believe in God or people who have said they believe in God
but have walked away from their faith in Him behave in this world. They follow the ways of sin and not that of
God.

So I liked the book a lot and I would recommend this book to
others.
